Crunchy Honey Granola Delight

1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats (3 cups), nuts, seeds, cinnamon (½ teaspoon), and salt (½ teaspoon). Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

3In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil (¼ cup) and honey (½ cup) together, stirring until fully combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract (1 teaspoon).

4Pour the honey (½ cup) and coconut oil (¼ cup) mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the honey (½ cup) mixture.

5Spread the granola mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning; it should be golden brown when done.

7Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will become crunchier as it cools.

8Once cooled, stir in the dried fruits of your choice. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature.
